| BALAKOT: The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has distributed tin food that expired twenty years ago among the earthquake survivors of Balakot, the use of which is causing skin allergies and stomach murmurs to those who consume it. The tins, containing tuna fish and baked beans, were produced in the year 1983 and were to be used within two years. The manufacturing date on top and bottoms of the tins clearly states their date of manufacture and expiry. Some heath officials from Frontier gave the expired stuff to patients at the leprosy hospital and their children. The expired tins were distributed directly without the knowledge of the district heath officer or the district health department. Neither the World Health Organisation (WHO) nor the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) know about The expired food caused itching and skin rashes in children and stomach problems for adults. Prepared by the Varamin's Agro Industries of Iran, the tins were donated by the IRCS. The tins carry a caption outlining the fundamental principles of humanity %u2013 voluntary service, independence, impartiality, neutrality, unity and universality. |

| #4 `Just for curiosity, what do they normaly eat? Could be plain old indigestion from eating "Foreign" foodstuffs. I mention this because as I once had an opportunity to eat "C" rations, easily a good 30 years old at the time, they were quite good, far better than legend has it, (Except the canned bread, the shortening had turned) and still good after all that time |
